Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for generating a remplisstechniksstrahtes according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the device is suitable for pressure flushing and decontamination of surgical or chronic wounds and of infected and / or contaminated body parts.
  • a device of this kind is for example in the WO 00/59385 disclosed.
  • a pump unit housed in a housing is provided, which is designed as a differential piston pump whose low pressure part to a pressure supply means, such as a compressor, while the high pressure part via a hose to a liquid container on the one hand and a flexible line to a the liquid jet outlet nozzle is connected on the other hand.
  • a pressure supply means such as a compressor
  • the device after the WO 00/59385 is massive and difficult to train and less suitable for outpatient treatments or mobile applications.
  • it is used for debridement, ie removal of biological tissue and fibrin and necrosis coverings and operated at much higher pressures. There are therefore correspondingly more complex and therefore more massive equipment required.
  • the publication EP-A-0 338 844 shows a device for dispensing a sterile liquid, which is used for medical and similar purposes.
  • a container is provided in which a liquid is advantageously held under pressure and which has a discharge path with a feed pipe and a pressure supply.
  • a hand-operated spray nozzle is arranged at the top of the container.
  • a recess is contained within the container, in which a (bomb) is provided with an outlet nozzle, through which a gas is generated in the container to form the necessary pressure.
  • a rinsing apparatus for treating gums, wherein a rinsing solution can be sprayed by a cannula connected to the container with a nozzle by means of a pressure vessel.
  • a manually operable pump piston is integrated, by means of which in turn a relatively low pressure on the rinsing solution can be generated.
  • a portable device suitable for dispensing an antiseptic solution by which infected wounds are treated.
  • it is a first container in which sufficient liquid is to be contained, and a second container connected thereto via a closable hose is provided. From the latter, the liquid can be sprayed via a hose connection and a replaceable nozzle.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned above, which is easily transportable and thereby not only suitable for stationary operation, but also for outpatient treatments or mobile applications.
  • the liquid container is designed as a connectable via a valve to a gas cartridge or a compressed air pressure vessel to which the flexible, leading to the nozzle line can be connected, wherein the liquid container via a shut-off or regulating member with the line is connectable , becomes a simple, effortlessly transportable and easy-to-sterilize facility created, which is also suitable for outpatient treatment and can be used not only by doctors, but also by the nursing staff, eg for home care (Spitex etc.).
  • the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for pressure flushing and decontamination of surgical and chronic wounds and for flushing of infected or contaminated body parts.
  • Fig.1 shows a device 1 for generating a liquid jet, for the pressure flushing and decontamination of surgical or chronic wounds or for pressure flushing of infected or contaminated body parts or the like.
  • the device 1 comprises a liquid container 2 with a stand 2a, which is designed according to the invention as a preferably bottle-shaped pressure vessel, and which can be connected via a arranged in its bottom portion valve 3 to a compressed air source to produce a fluid pressure.
  • a compressed air source In a mobile operation of the device 1 can be used as a compressed air source, a gas cartridge 11, in stationary operation, the compressed air can be fed directly from a compressed air power supply in the hospital.
  • the liquid container 2 contains a physiological solution or an antiseptic, for example a sterile saline solution or the like, which can be passed under pressure via a flexible line 4 connected to the liquid container 2 to a nozzle 5 attached to the end of the line 4 and producing the liquid jet ,
  • a physiological solution or an antiseptic for example a sterile saline solution or the like
  • the nozzle 5, which out Fig. 2 can be seen and described in more detail below, forms part of a provided with a handle 6a handpiece 6, which is intended for manual handling.
  • a shut-off or regulating member preferably a regulating cock 7
  • a dip tube 9 which is connected via the regulating valve 7 with the connecting piece 8 and from the regulating cock 7 down to the container bottom out to above the gas filling opening 3a, extends.
  • the dip tube 9 is slightly angled at the lower end 9a, so that when gas filling as little gas flows into the dip tube 9 and is lost.
  • the device 1 is further equipped with a vent, preferably a controllable vent valve (or vent cock) 10, by means of which, if necessary, air / gas can be sucked off, so that the liquid container 2 can be filled faster.
  • the coming into contact with the liquid parts of the device 1 and the liquid container 2 including all fittings are preferably made of stainless steel and can be sterilized both with steam as well as in the plasma sterilizer.
  • the flexible line 4 may be made of a suitable metal, but is preferably made of plastic.
  • the flexible conduit 4 is preferably connected to a standard port, e.g. connected with a so-called Luer-lock connection 14 with the control valve 7 downstream of this connecting piece 8, which comprises a line-fixed part 14a and a connecting piece 8 associated part 14b (a cap nut).
  • the handpiece 6 arranged at the other end of the flexible conduit 4 and having the nozzle 5 is advantageously connected via a standard connection, such as e.g. a Luer-lock connection 15 connected to the line 4, such that a hatching under pressure is not possible.
  • the line 4 is associated with a connection part 15a (a union nut), the nozzle 5, which according to the invention is designed as a disposable needle or cannula made of plastic or metal, is connected to a connection part 15b and can be disposable together with it after use.
  • handpiece connections that do not conform to a standard, can be easily adapted by only the nut is loosened and a custom adapter is attached.
  • connection part 15a of the already mentioned handle 6a is attached, preferably glued, which is tubular and made for example of plastic or cardboard.
  • the flexible line 4 as well as its associated and with this example molded connection parts 14 a, 15 a and the needle can - the Fig. 2 accordingly - for example, made of plastic.
  • the materials of the individual parts of the device 1 are chosen so that they are resistant to heat, steam and all types of disinfectants, so that the metallic parts can be autoclaved with hot steam or disinfected with instrument disinfectants.
  • the disposable parts which are preferably made of plastic, are plasma sterilized or can be sterilized with gamma rays.
  • the inventive device for generating a liquid jet for the pressure flushing and decontamination of surgical or chronic wounds and infected body parts or the like is simple in manufacturing and assembly technology and inexpensive. It is easily transportable and thus not only suitable for inpatient operation, but also for outpatient treatment or mobile applications. It can be used not only by doctors but also by nursing staff, e.g. for nursing home (Spitex etc.).
